Forever a Fool
This is too hard
I don’t want to do it
There is simply no way
For me to get through it
Though, often, we confuse
What is hard with what stimulates
We don’t lack the ability
Rather the time that it takes
If we do not practice
Reform what is tough
Then nothing we do
Will prepare us enough
So don’t do what is hard
Do not follow this rule
Never stimulate and prepare
Remain, forever, a fool.
